The Port of Duisburg, a historic maritime hub, has officially opened the Duisburg Gateway Terminal (DGT). This modern inland terminal, the largest in Europe, marks a turning point in the port’s 300-year history.
The DGT is more than just a new terminal; it is a model for the future of logistics. The terminal’s operations are fully digitalized and it is committed to sustainability. The “enerPort II” project, a collaboration between industry and academia, aims to make the DGT completely climate-neutral. By integrating renewable energies, energy storage technologies and hydrogen technology, the terminal will generate its own heat and electricity, thereby reducing its environmental impact.
Leading companies and research institutes such as Westenergie Netzservice GmbH, Rolls-Royce Power Systems AG, Netze Duisburg GmbH, Stadtwerke Duisburg AG and Stadtwerke Duisburg Energiehandel GmbH are participating in the enerPort II project. The project is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection under the Hydrogen Technologies programme.
